The controller 160 may support not only a background screen but also complex property control of various mobile terminal user functions such as an audio file playback function, a video file playback function, and a camera function. The description of the complex attribute control of this function will be described in more detail with reference to the following screen examples.

As described above, the mobile terminal 100 that supports the complex attribute control according to an embodiment of the present invention supports the complex adjustment of attributes of a specific user function supported by an application program, but more intuitively and conveniently. do. Hereinafter, the complex attribute control method of the present invention operated based on the portable terminal 100 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a complex attribute control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the complex attribute control method of the present invention, a user may first perform an operation for supplying power to the mobile terminal 100. For power supply, a user may connect a battery or a charger of the mobile terminal 100 and generate an input signal for power supply. On the other hand, when power is supplied, the portable terminal 100 generates power for operating each component of the portable terminal 100 using the supplied power as in step 201, and generates each component using the generated power. Initialize and boot.

When the booting process is completed, the portable terminal 100 may perform a function according to preset schedule information as in step 203 and control the display unit 140 to display a screen according to the execution of the corresponding function. For example, the portable terminal 100 may activate an application constituting the desktop screen according to preset schedule information and control the desktop terminal to output the desktop screen to the display unit 140 according to activation of the corresponding application program. In this case, the portable terminal 100 may activate an application program for supporting a camera function according to preset schedule information. Accordingly, the portable terminal 100 may output a preview screen according to activation of the camera function to the display unit 140. That is, the preset schedule information may include information configured to activate at least one user function among user functions that the portable terminal 100 can support. In the following description, for convenience of description, the screen corresponding to the music file playing player is displayed on the display unit 140 in response to the activation of the music file playing program. That is, the mobile terminal 100 activates the music file player in step 203, outputs a screen corresponding thereto to the display unit 140, activates the pre-registered music file according to a set schedule, and corresponds to the corresponding music file. It is assumed that the audio signal is output through the audio processor 130.

Next, in step 205, the portable terminal 100 determines whether to enter the complex attribute control mode. To this end, the portable terminal 100 may control to output the property control icon to one side of the screen to enter the complex property control mode in step 203. Then, in step 205, the mobile terminal 100 may control to determine whether an input signal or a touch event for selecting the property control icon is generated to enter the complex property control mode. In this process, when there is no input signal or touch event for entering a separate complex property control mode, the portable terminal 100 branches to step 207 to perform a function according to the schedule information that was performed in step 203, for example. The control may be controlled to perform a user function of the mobile terminal 100 according to the received input signal or a touch event. That is, the portable terminal 100 may terminate the music file playing function and perform the desktop output function or the menu screen output function, for example, according to an input signal or a touch event.

Meanwhile, when an input signal or a touch event for entering the complex property control mode occurs in step 205, the portable terminal 100 branches to step 209 to output a matrix interface for complex property control of a music file player. can do. Here, before branching from step 205 to step 209, the mobile terminal 100 checks whether there are a plurality of complex attributes defined in the currently active music file player, and if there is a singular number, steps 209 to 209. You can enter directly. However, when there are a plurality of compound attributes, the portable terminal 100 controls the display unit 140 to output a menu screen for selecting any one of the compound attributes as described above. Then, when the user generates an input signal or a touch event for selecting a specific compound property, the portable terminal 100 branches to step 209 to control to output a matrix interface for controlling the selected specific property. Here, the attribute control matrix interface will be briefly described. In the attribute control matrix interface, a plurality of attributes are arranged on a specific position of a matrix, for example, a horizontal and vertical center axis of a matrix, to form a virtual axis. It is to arbitrarily define the change value of the property corresponding to each axis in the specific divided areas. Accordingly, when the user selects a specific location point on the matrix interface, the property control matrix interface complexly adjusts property values of axes corresponding to the location point, and adjusts the complex property adjustment value accordingly to the controller 160. I can deliver it.

On the other hand, after step 209, the mobile terminal 100 checks whether the selection of the complex attribute adjustment value is completed in step 211. If the complex attribute adjustment is not completed in this process, the process may branch to step 209 to perform the following process repeatedly. When an input signal or a touch event indicating completion of complex attribute adjustment occurs in step 211, the portable terminal 100 branches to step 213 to check whether the terminal is terminated. When the portable terminal 100 does not generate a separate input signal for terminating the terminal in step 213, the portable terminal 100 branches to step 203 and repeatedly performs the following process, and is currently activated music. It can support complex adjustment of properties of file playback player.

In this case, the complex attributes defined in the specific application program of the portable terminal 100 may be defined as a complex attribute by the designer, or may support a new setting or an existing setting change by the user. To this end, the portable terminal 100 may support a setting screen for property adjustment so that the properties of a specific application may be combined with a compound property or redefine the compound properties as individual properties. Then, the user can integrate the complex properties of the properties defined in a specific application program, for example, a music file playback player, or redefine values previously defined as the complex properties as individual properties through the setting screen for adjusting the properties. .

As described above, the complex property control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention allows for quick and easy property adjustment by allowing a user to complexly adjust properties based on at least one complex property defined in a specific application. To help.

On the screen 305, the mobile terminal 100 displays a property control matrix interface 32 that can adjust treble and bass, and adjust instrument and vocal attributes at once. Can be output to In addition, the portable terminal 100 may control to display the complex attribute state of the currently activated application program on the attribute control matrix interface 32. That is, the portable terminal 100 may represent the currently set complex attribute state on the attribute control matrix interface 32 so as to be different from other regions.

On the screen 305, a user may touch a specific area to emphasize the instrument and bass relatively compared to the treble and the vocal. Then, as shown in the screen 307, the portable terminal 100 sets the complex attribute state area 36 as an area for emphasizing the musical instrument and the bass so as to support the complex adjustment of the attributes. Herein, the mobile terminal 100 can continuously play the music file played on the screen 301. The mobile terminal 100 applies the attribute value change to the music file currently being played in real time, thereby emphasizing the musical instrument and the bass. The signal may be controlled to be output through the audio processor 130.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 100 may provide an option area 34 for setting a specific audio effect, for example, an “Ambience” effect, on one side of the screen as an option of changing the audio property on the screens 305 to 309. Then, when the "Ambience" option is in the "off" state, the user may generate a specific input signal and change the attribute of the corresponding area to the "on" state as shown on screen 309.

When the composite property adjustment and the audio option effect setting are completed in step 309 and the user generates an input signal or a touch event corresponding to the completion, the mobile terminal 100 receives the audio signal with the compound property and the audio option effect applied. Output to the display unit 140 a screen including an image area 31, a control key map area 33, and an information output area 35 associated with the currently active music file as in step 311. Can be controlled. In this case, the portable terminal 100 may output the property control icon 30b to one side of the screen in step 311. The property control icon 30b may represent an image on which the changed complex property adjustment value is displayed. That is, compared to the screen 303, the property control icon 30b may be displayed in a different position of the complex property status area 36 representing the complex property setting value. In other words, when the complex attribute is adjusted on the attribute control matrix interface 32, the image represented by the attribute control icon 30b may be changed to indicate that the complex attribute is adjusted.
